Nutrition and SleeD.

What happens is rather rest from the
rapid movements of waking life, during
which the slower activities of function
have time to overtake the faster ones.
Recuperation by nutrition is a more tardy
process than consumption by work and
heat production, and if the hare We're not
to sleep the tortoise would be left hope
lessly behind. It is essential to health
that the tortoise should not lag far in the
rear, and sleep must be just as long as
will enable the laggard nutritive process
to overtake the impetuous destructive
processes Practically, therefore, a man
should sleep until he is refreshed.
The mistake many persons make is in
attempting to govern what must be q
matter of instinct by volitional control.
When we are weary we ought to sleep,
and when we wake we should get up.
There are no more vicious habits than
adopting measures to keep awake, or en-
ploying artifices, or still worse, resorting
TO drugs and other devices to induce or
prolong sleep. Doing is the very demor-
alzation of the sleep function, and from
that pernicious habit arises much of the
SO called sleeplessness more accurately
wakefulness from which multtutla
suffer. IL London Lancet.

We are in receipt of late copy of the
Mower County Transcript, published at
Austin, MINI, wherein an extended COM
plimentary notice is given relative to the
Farmers Mutual Live Stock association.
The Transcript is either blind to the
fraudulent history of this certain associ-
alton. or else wilfully misleading. The
Austin plant is merely continuation of
the old Marion, Iowa, company-an ac-
knowledged fraud that lived and fattened
on the cupidity Of Iowa and Dakota farm
ers and then moved oyer the line into
Minnesota. B. j. Capwell, Of this city;
c. Miller, of Floyd county, Iowa, and
many others within our knowledge have
been victimized by the Farmers Mutual
Protective association. and spare no pains
to expose the rotteness Of the company in
the most unreseryed terms. Northwest

dollars. Reypold, was once preacher, but fell
from grace became an opponent OF the religion Of
God and wrote a book. Upon the following para

God aimlessy dashed into space with his little fists
God stared fOoshly at his own little toes; God
smiled when he was comfortable and howled when
he was pricked by nasty pin; God nursed at
Mary's breast; God lay in u cradle and rock ed

teeth; God caught the mumps, measles, whooping
cough and scarlet fever; God learned to walk and
often tunbled down, bumped his forehead and
made lie little nose bleed; God was spanked when
he was naughty, etc.

A couple of weeks ago DR.. j. I. Taylor
gave the readers of THE ADVOCATE an
idea of the Nebraska and Kansas agricnl-
tural prospects, and this week he gives us
talk on booms. The Doctor has been
zigzaging around southern Nebraska
more particularly, and condenses the
Omaha Lincoln craze as follows:
EDITOR ADvocATE:-Omaha, indeed,
is wonderful city. Her boom is red hot
and still heating, and land agents are
multiplying daily. Options on city prop
erty are selling rapidly, and buyers are
calling loudly for more land to invest
their money in. Lincoln, which few
years ago was sixty miles away, is now a
close neighbor, onlya few unplatted corn
fields separating the two great cities. In
making a two hours ride from the capi-
tai to Omaha one would hardly conceive
the exact point where Lincoln's munich
pal boundaries cease and Omaha's COM
mcnce, Judging from the corner of lots
staked out and the little board attached
to each, with the ominous words thereon.
For salc;' Prices going up daily"
make your fortuue;' ''For prices in
quirc of Smooth. tongue, Land.shark Il
Co., of Omaha" or "Victim Catcher &
Son, of Lincoln, as the case may be-
The Presbyterian synod OF the United
States is in session at Omaha. The Ju-
bilec singers discourse fine music to her
citizens at the exposition building. The
gospel and salvation armies parade the
streets at night, and it seems that every
thing is inaugurated here to keep the
boom in splendid condition. The city Of
the Bluffs, on the opposite side Of the
river, has caught the disease bad, and not
wishing to be outdone has caused her
surveyors to scale tie bluffs and map out
4 future Chicago. Then, down on the
fats, close up to the big Muddy for
tunes are staked out asking for purchas-
ers, ignoring floods and high water or
malarial stencil Such is faint idea of
the great boom and the chances to be
come wealthy. in short time, in this To-
cality of the great west.

What Real life Is.

Exchange: This world is but feetins show of
time and there is but little in life to live for. Tho
world is n hollow mockery, full of trials, troubles
and bad piano and baseball players. We dabble
in politics, and bet all wealth on the leading
man, and the other gets elected and
left to mourn, and We come out crushed, financial
ly. We deny ourselves many things in order to
lay up some cash in the bank and the cashier fees
to Canada. The place that once knew him knows
him now only by promissory notes and accounts
he has left unpsid. And this Is the eud OF man.
In youth he dances into the ring eager to knock
somebody out. but the first thing he knoweth he is
ornamented with black eye. He co:neth forth il
fine raiment and q standing collar, and at noon
time he goes about with one suspender, and the
seat of his pants patched He carreth torch or
bloweth q drum in the band. and whoopeth
it up for his party and behold the man who staid
at home is elected or appointed to Office.

Gold and Paper.

A paragraph in one of tho state papers
as to the relative weights Of gold coin
and paper money has made a demand on
druggists for the use of their scales. It
appears that question was raised as to
the number of 81 bills required to equal
the weight Of SIS gold piece. The
guesses ran all the way from ten to one
hundred or more, but the scales showed
that seven hills will just tip the scales
down on the side where the paper money.
Is placed. Tests here in Hartford give
the same results, their being very slight
variation when new bills ere used.

or whether he has subscribed not is RESPONSE
BILE for the payment.
The courts have decided that refusing to take
newspapers periodicals from the postotfice, or
removing and leaving it uncaled for is prima
facie evidence of Intentional fraud.
If any person orders his paper discontinued, he
he must pay all arrearages, or the publishers may
continue to send it until payment is made and col
lect the whole amount, whether the paper is taken
from the office or not.
